This essay is intended as a brief introduction on Kant’s views on time and the theoretical contexts he presents them in. The idea is to sketch out Kant’s views as I see them in such a manner that it would be easy to build upon the discussed themes on a later occasion. I start by listing the key Kant texts that concern the notion of time. Then I investigate the theoretical contexts where time plays a prominent role in Kant’s critical philosophy. Finally, I take a somewhat more detailed look at the Transcendental Aesthetic, in which Kant supposedly claims that time is nothing but a subjective way of representing things in temporal order.
